Man In Wheelchair Shot In Parking Lot

WEST SIDE — A West Side man left in a wheelchair from a gang shooting four years ago was shot and killed early Monday during a dice game in a parking lot.

Rayvon Hagler, 20, who had been paralyzed in the 1996 gang shooting, was shot in the mouth and shoulder in the 3200 block of West Maypole Avenue, Chicago police said.

Three other men were wounded in the shooting, which is believed to be drug and gang related, said Chicago police spokesman Pat Camden.

Hagler and three other men were shooting dice at 1:40 a.m. Monday when two men dressed in dark clothing rushed up to them, yelled an obscenity and opened fire.

Hagler was pronounced dead at the scene, Camden said.

One of the men who was playing dice was shot in the hip, another in the ankle and a third man suffered a graze wound to his head, police said. The first two victims were treated at Mt. Sinai Hospital Medical Center. The third declined treatment but sought treatment at the hospital later in the morning for his injury, a spokeswoman said. He also has been released.
